Bob Ewegen’s column concerning the 2nd Congressional District primary and his comments on Jared Polis were right on target. It is clear that Polis has earned a right to sit in the halls of Congress. As Ewegen pointed out, Polis’ record in education is excellent, especially as it relates to minority communities.

What Polis has done, which the others have not, is actively put programs together that are successful. It appears the Joan Fitz-Gerald crowd is getting set to run a nasty campaign attacking him for his recent trip to Iraq, while in the past Fitz-Gerald has supported the Iraq war in the General Assembly.

In the meantime, Polis is a candidate with a good track record of producing positive results in education. But Polis has more to offer. His knowledge is broader than just education, as witnessed by his recent trip to Iraq.
